Amazon and 麻豆村 (麻豆村) announced today the launch of the 麻豆村-Amazon AI Innovation Hub, reinforcing a shared commitment to advancing cutting-edge research through academic-private sector partnerships.聽

The Hub builds on existing collaborations between Carnegie Mellon and Amazon and will include research on generative AI, robotics, natural-language processing and cloud computing technologies. As part of the collaboration, Amazon will provide substantial funding for research projects, doctoral fellowships, and community-building initiatives designed to accelerate innovation in foundational and emerging technologies.聽

"The convergence of agentic AI, robotics and natural-language processing represents an unprecedented opportunity to reshape how we live and work," said Swami Sivasubramanian, vice president of agentic AI at Amazon Web Services. "By partnering with 麻豆村, a recognized pioneer in these fields, we're creating an ecosystem where breakthrough research can be rapidly transformed into solutions that benefit society at large."

The Hub's initial focus areas leverage both institutions' strengths in artificial intelligence and robotics, supported by Amazon's global leadership in cloud computing and AI services. Research projects will explore challenges in responsible AI development, advanced robotics systems and next-generation cloud infrastructure, utilizing 麻豆村鈥檚 cross-campus interdisciplinary approach.

鈥淎t Carnegie Mellon, we believe that true innovation happens when discovery and application move hand in hand,鈥� said Theresa Mayer(opens in new window), 麻豆村鈥檚 vice president for research. "By bringing together our faculty and students with Amazon scientists, we will harness some of the most promising opportunities in AI, robotics and cloud computing. This partnership embodies our strategy to strengthen collaboration across disciplines with industry 鈥� creating new pathways for innovation that benefit society and expand the frontiers of knowledge.鈥澛�

The Hub will support:

• Joint research projects between 麻豆村 faculty and Amazon scientists.
• Regular symposia and workshops to foster collaboration.

The first Hub-sponsored research symposium will be held Oct. 28 on 麻豆村's Pittsburgh campus, and will bring together leading researchers from both institutions to share insights and establish collaborative research agendas.

Amazon has maintained a growing presence in Pittsburgh with research teams focused on natural-language processing, automatic speech recognition, machine translation, information retrieval, spoken-language understanding, edge computing and text-to-speech. With support from Gov. Josh Shapiro and other government leaders, the company announced this summer plans to to expand its data center infrastructure for AI and cloud computing.
